daas yochid- thanks for your clarifications. Raphael kaufman,however, does not say anything about “the absolute worse” situaiton, meaning an actual relationship. OBVIOUSLY- in such a dire case, what you are writing is correct- and with an unmarried woman, there may be a ‘safeq’ kiddushin (kiddushie biah). He seems to say that just because of “yichud’ these results may occur. Read his post again- this is very clearly how I read it and this is why it seemed to me to be an extraordinary statement. By the way, if the relationship is “bemeizid” (consensual) then she can become ossur on her husband, regardless whether the husband is a kohen or a Yisroel.
